Note: This is Willie at his best. He has made this song very much
his own and it's never good to copy another artist exactly. Here
I hope I have given you enough information so that you can create
your very own rendition of this song.
Want to learn to play lead guitar, download my H How To Lead Lead Guitar
from my web site. Once there click on the How To Do menu button.
Page down, you'll soon find the link to it.
This is in Willie's recording key. If you tune your guitar to standard
tuning, (use a quartz tuner) and you will be able to play right along
with Willie which is blast.
